Albertans know that the fall can begin at a moment’s notice. It’s important to assess your home at the end of the summer to see what maintenance needs to be done. Your roof protects your biggest investment – your home. It’s important to look at your roof to make sure that it’s in good shape before the winter weather begins. Preparing your roof for fall will prevent nasty surprises from happening during the winter! You should also check for leaves and debris on the roof and in the eavestroughs.

Tips on Getting Your Roof Ready for Fall

  • It’s important to check your attic for any signs of water damage and leakage. These may appear as dark spots or stains.
  • You should also look carefully for any light that might be shining through a hole in the roof. This will need to be addressed immediately before more damage can occur.
  • Trim tree branches that are growing close to your roof. This will prevent damage to your roof and will reduce the number of leaves that may clog your eavestroughs.
  • Clean your eavestroughs regularly so that leaves don’t accumulate and cause blockages. This will prevent rainwater from overflowing and damaging the trim and siding.
  • Remove fallen leaves, pine needles, and assorted debris from the gutters and eavestroughs so that the weight of these leaves when wet doesn’t cause the eavestroughs to pull loose from your roof.
